In this next installment of Cool Kid Chronicles, we head to Soho and hang out with Jaden Michael who we've known since Tristin + Tyler were about 8 years old. Whether they work on a PBS pilot together or end up seeing each other at auditions, these kids always seem to meet up in the NYC someway somehow, so I thought it was only fitting to feature cool kid Jaden.

Jaden is not only talented as an actor and model, he's super funny, sweet and very well rounded. We spent a whole day together which included shooting these photos, going to a fun craft event and trekking in downtown NYC in the snow, and even in the FREEZING cold, Jaden's charm is undeniable!

My favorite acting project so far has been Wonderstruck. We were a great team and we all worked very well together.
